you must cut the head and tail of archive with file cutter and upload them ... viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1270
or copy and paste hex text in code section instead of its image !

Filecutter doesn't work! I can't upload the file, because my upload speed: 20kb/s :(

the header of the archive is for sure at the end so: no files, no party

as already said above if you don't provide the files or parts of the file I can't magically guess the differences with the format I reversed.
the only thing you "could" try is to remove the following 2 lines:
math INFO_OFFSET <<= 0xb
math OFFSET <<= 11
but I'm sure that nothing will change

new version of quickbms (fixes a bug with files > 2gb): http://aluigi.org/papers.htm#quickbms
new script supporting any Cabela's game: http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/cabela.bms

thanx to cleerxer who contacted me via mail and provided all the needed pieces of the file and informations for solving the bug and adapting the script.
